  • Iranian sources tell #AlMayadeen that no external aggression against Iran was launched on Friday. What is being circulated about an Israeli attack on #Iran are lies and are part of a misinformation war, according to our sources. Sources also added that complicit #US media outlets are waging a proxy war of disinformation on behalf of the Israeli occupation. This comes after #Iran's Space Agency confirmed that several drones, of unspecified origin, were downed over Iranian airspace. The agency said that no missile attack on Iran occurred on Friday.

    It's a nothingburger. How would Israel even launch missiles at Iran with no one in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, etc seeing it? From a stealth fighter? It's probably a failed attack from the MEK or ISIS-K or some other terrorist proxy.


  • Ervand Abrahamian's works are the best scholarship on Iran, he contextualizes the revolution and Khomeini in its historical and ideological context as a synthesis of Islam, Marxism, and political structures of Gaullist France. He deconstructs the idea of Iran as a totalitarian theocracy and shows it's much closer to like, Sukarno's Indonesia than any other country. I'd recommend A Modern History of Iran and also Essays on the Islamic Republic .
